I installed PostgreSQL-11 in Ubuntu 18.04.02 Server Edition using package manager: sudo apt-get install postgresql-11. But now I'm not able to call psql:

    (base) marco@pc:~$ sudo su -l postgres
    [sudo] password for marco:
    No directory, logging in with HOME=/
    postgres@pc:/$ psql
    Warning: No existing local cluster is suitable as a default target. Please  
    see man pg_wrapper(1) how to specify one.
    Error: You must install at least one postgresql-client-<version> package
    postgres@pc:/$

I tried to specify the port to use but it asks for a postgresql-client:

    (base) marco@pc:~$ sudo -u postgres /usr/bin/psql -p 5432
    Error: You must install at least one postgresql-client-<version> package

But the latest postgresql-client is already installed:

    (base) marco@pc:~$ sudo apt-get install postgresql-client-11
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree      
    Reading state information... Done
    postgresql-client-11 is already the newest version (11.5-1.pgdg18.04+1).
    0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.

How to solve the problem? Looking forward to your kind help.
Marco
